A Study of the Reaction ⁷³Ge(n, γ)⁷⁴Ge

Abstract

The energies and intensities of thermal-neutron capture gamma rays from 74Ge have been measured with a Ge(Li) detector. An internal target of enriched 73Ge has been used. The reaction Q-value and excitation energies have been determined. The decay scheme of 74Ge is discussed in view of the vibrational model.
